Best movie of this year hands down!

From my favorite movies..

Fresh and Exciting

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I give them a 2 only in reference that they tried, even though they throw the wonderful book down the toilet. I watched all 13 episodes of the show supposedly worthy of the title 'Redwall' and haven't seen such horrible justice to a novel since 'The Secret of Nimh.' I think I counted 6 episodes that actually contained something in the book, all the rest were some screw-off to make a profit. I cringe every time someone says 'Wild Ivey' or any of the other trash they threw in. They could have put a lot more book details in, but instead made up a bunch of crap. If you must add, add. If you must eliminate, eliminate. But if you add and eliminate your work will amount to nothing.Summarized, if you are a fan of Mr. Jacques wonderful Redwall Saga, and believe in NOT destroying a literary masterpiece, you're bound to get all riled up upon viewing this terrible adaptation.

I have three teenage sons who grew up loving the Redwall series. When we started watching this DVD we knew we were in trouble when in the opening credits the 'written by' was one person's name and that name wasn't Brian Jacques. The producers have taken the characters and places from Redwall and completely re-written the story. Butchered as badly as Ron Dahl butchered Ian Flemings's Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang? Well, almost. After a half hour of watching this Redwall from the parallel bizarro universe, my 15 year old pressed the stop button on the remote and that was that. It was too painful for us to endure. If you love the original story, get Brian Jacques's excellent audio book version and leave this video on the store shelf.

This show is surprisingly (and beneficially) complex for something made for children. It has a great plot that branches off in several directions as it follows the adventures of different characters, and it all comes back together in the end. The excellent story is filled with memorable characters and harrowing adventures, all designed for the younger crowd. If you are a fan of the Redwall books, occasionally there will be a little "easter egg" just for you to pick up, and you will appreciate the show's loyalty to the original text. If you are tired of nothing but Japanimation or the same old Loony Toons, here is a 'toon that will grab you from start to finish.

Although there is a sudden proliferation of animated series, very few of them have been incredibly impressive. This is one of them.The plot revolves around a young mouse named Matthais, who is a novice at Redwall Abbey. He begins to hear voices from the famous hero Martin the Warrior, and must save his abbey from the evil rogue Cluny the Scourge, a rat with a blade tied to his tail. As he listens to the voices, he is drawn farther and farther towards his destiny.Perhaps the two things which impress me the most are the maturity the show demonstrates and the quality of the animation. Redwall is not a show for younger children; there is death around the abbey, even though there is no graphic violence. And once a character dies, s/he does not come back. As for the animation, the quality is incredible. Realistic shadows are cast on the characters, and the world around Redwall Abbey is lush and green.This is definitely worth seeing, regardless of one's age.
